Active evaluation is described as being what?

• A. Data-driven and retrospective
• B. Focused on post-project results
• C. Question-based
• D. Primarily qualitative

Answer: (C)

Active evaluation is centered on asking targeted questions during the project to guide what to measure and what actions to take. This makes the evaluation proactive and decision-focused, rather than waiting to analyze results after everything is done. It’s not just about collecting data or focusing only on post-project outcomes; it’s about using specific questions to drive evidence gathering and timely adjustments. While the data you collect may be qualitative or quantitative, the defining feature is that the evaluation is conducted in a question-driven way that keeps learning and improvement at the forefront.
